Favorite Story
Moby Dick
par
Favorite Story is a dramatic anthology in which host Ronald Colman introduces adaptations of notable works of literature. Each broadcast brings a different story to radio, with actors and sound effects giving the written material a theatrical voice.
The program draws on a wide range of literary sources, from classic novels and short stories to tales of adventure, mystery, and human conflict. This episode is identified with Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, the story of Captain Ahab’s obsessive pursuit of the great white whale and the crew aboard the Pequod.
Colman’s polished introductions frame the dramatizations, while the ensemble performances and radio sound design help convey the scale and atmosphere of each work. The result is a literary radio series that pairs familiar classics with the immediacy of a staged performance.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
